Gardening

It's spring! The weather has been a roller coaster, 80's then snow. I know it is typical Minnesota, but after a long winter (even without snow) I am ready for the nice weather. In between the rain storms there have been some nice days for planting. I am really trying to focus on providing food for my family. Money is always tight but I want to make sure that we eat well. Since we are not raising our own meat I have had to seek out farms that I can trust to buy from, and to be honest it has not been easy. But that is a discussion for another day. Today I want to talk veggies!

Three weeks ago I planted peas, radishes, greens, lettuce, and beets. Then the next week I planted my potatoes, carrots, and kohlrabi. Now is the time to get those cool season seeds into the ground. I already have signs of radishes, peas, and of course asparagus and garlic.
